I love you ...

One Love How do I love you ?
let me count the ways.

I love you
to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach,
when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love you
to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love you
with the passion put to use
In my old grieves and joys,
and with my childhood's faith.

I love you
with the breath, smiles, tears,
of all my life ! ---

I love you
with my whole being,
that always being in love,
by being in love with you.
